GalCiv Bug: Lock up

I'm sending the following message to [email protected], with two save games attached.

Hello,

My fully-updated (as of last night) version of Galactic Civilization is locking up on me. The end turn button in the lower right corner changes to a clock signal. I've never seen that symbol for more than a fraction of a second before but I've waited for as long as five minutes now and it does not return to the normal "turn" text.

I'm playing on an IBM ThinkPad T30 running a fully-updated (as of yesterday, as well) version of Windows XP. This system comes with an ATI mobility Radeon 7500, a 30G HD (mostly empty), and 256M RAM.

I've attached two saved games in their respective folders in the attached ZIP file. After creating the first save game, "Good Game", I quit out of GalCiv and restarted. I got one turn further then the system locked up again. I then created the second save game, "Locked Game".

BTW, when I transferred this save game to my desktop, the game did not lock up. However, my political party got screwed up. Perhaps the senate information is stored outside of the save game?
